C, SATURDAY, JUNE 27, 1003. $2.00 PER YEAE A RICH WRPBAU.-ST8IKE: One of the Richest Strikes on Record���������Attracting. Crowds of Gold' Hunters. Considerable excitement was manifested in Kaslo the early part of. the week, when two well known mining men, Frank Marquis and Geo. Gilbert returned .from the Lardo-Duncan .coun- , try with evidence of a rich gold find that is a marvel for richness and one that places everything heretofore heard of completely in the shade; To substantiate the'truth of tho richness of the disaovery, these gentlemen produced samples of quartz that are more than one half composed of gold. The specimens, which were brought down from the upper country in a fr.uit (inn will run in valiie to about $100, and the place in which they were exhibited was thronged by a curious public. The returns from assays, which arc not yet made, it is said, will run in thousands of dollars to.the ton.from these exhibited samples. The property on which the discovery was made is known as the ��������� Gold Park group, consisting of two claims and is located on Popular creek, a tributary of tho Lardo, about one mile from the Kootenay & Arrowhead railway. The ore is white quartz and carbonates carrying large quart ties of free gold. Tlie vein from which the samples were taken is seven inches wide and has been uncovered for a distance of 'several hundred feet by means of-. :.6pen cute. In places'it widens out to ten inches, while the whole gauge matter is impregnated with filigree gold. The owners have returned to the property with supplies and motars to crush the ore for shipment, and estimate with a little more development on the property they could at least ship $100,000 worth of ore. A large party of 'fortune hunters accompanied the lucky owners on their return trip, while a large number proceeded the party to get on the ���������ground floor. . The find is said to bo in the same mineral belt as sach well know mines as the Silver Cup, Triune and', Qphir- Lade group, while the country in the immediate vicinity is heavily timbered and mountains rough and precipitous. ium $264 and silver about $7. Compare these prices with the rarer and-less well known, metals. To take them in alphabetical order: baiium sells for $950 per pound and calcium is worth $1,800 a pound. Cirium costs $160 per ounc-J and chorniium _ $200. Cobolt falls to about the price of silver. Didymium is the same price as calcium. Thon comes gillium, which is worthj $3,250 an ounce. With this metal the highest is reached, and it may well be called the rarest of ail precious metals. Giucium'is worth $250 per ounce, indium $150, iridium $586 a pound, .jan- thanium $175 and lithium $160 per ounce. Nidium costs $28 per ounce, osmium $640, pallodium $400, platinum $265, and rhodium $128 per pound. Titanium, tilurJum $0, thorum $272, vanandium $320, yttrium $143 and zin- coiuni $250 an ounce. Thus we see that the commonly received opinion as to what aie the most precious metals is quite erroneous. Barium is nearly four times as valuable as gold, and gallium 162 times as costly, while many of the other metals mentioned are twice and thrice as valuable. Blio'wing. On June- 4, 1P35 Ions was I lie l\ output at this colliery, and the average for all the other days is much hight-r than-for May. On June 10, 3,131 tons coal were taken out of the three collieries and Coal creek mines contributed 1,138 tons on thW'dav. The demand.* ofthe C. -P. K. are growing heavier.

Record For Crow's Nest Coal. Rare Metals. The majority of people when asked to name the most precious metals usually mention gold as1 first, platium as second and silver as third. Gold is worth about $250 per pound troy, plat- June is expected Lo be a record month with the Crow's Neet Pass Coal company. Last month the company sent out 57,726 .tons, an increase of. 3,216 over the previous record, This month promit.es to leave all other records in the rear. The company expects the figures to reach 75,00.0 tons. During thetliree weeks of the month already past, Coal creek has made a much better I lions are held The people of East Kootenay anticipate a boom in that section of the province, when the .British Columbia government issues licences to prospectors who have been in the territory since early spring. . Numerous Spokanites have recently been displaying a great deal of activity in thut district by making applicatims for coal licences, each entitling them to develop a square mile of coal lands, and they are anxious for the British Columbia government at Victoria to say the word that will let them begin work. 'Andrew Laid iaw has been buoy since March taking up land for Spokane ..people., D. D. Birks has also been active there." Among the prominent people who have madeapplicatians for licences are ex-Senator Turner, E. J. Roberts, of the Empire State-Idaho company, Leo. H. Long of the Lone Pine-Surprise, Frank Watson of tlie Fisher Maiden Mines, Frank H. Chase of the International company, and others. The initial cost of getting a licence for 640 acros of coal lands is about $10 in fees, not counting tlie charges which the locator may make, and $50 for the government licence for the first year. Alter that for four ypars the claim holder muscpay an annual tax of lOcents an acre, or $04 per claim, and at the end of five years he must prove up by pay- ins $5 an acre for Ins coal land. His right includes coal, timber, surface and oil, practically everything except mineral in place. The coal beds are of immense size and they have already proven, in the case of the Crow's Nest Pass Coal company, to have the finest coking coal in the West, if not in the world. The mining men have been delayed in getting licences by the troubles over the Canadian Pacific railway's elf im to the coal lands in lieu of other grants given it for railway construction. However, its claims weie quashed by the recent act of the Provincial legislature, and all that now remains is for thegov- ernment to commence issuing licences for the coal lands, which in all probability will not bo done before the elec- A feeling is prevalent "in town that the Dominion government will announce the bounty for lead in ore mined in Canada, in a few days. ' The impression prevails that while the amount will about or near what was asked, the bulk will go to the producer and a portion to the smelter. The bounty in whatever, form given will only aflbrd temporary relief. It is practically an indirect tariff coming out of the taxes of the people. The mine owners as a whole have opposed a bounty, but were fo/ced into it, by the furce of circumstances. Their demand was for a just and equitable protection- tariff 'to secure the home market at prevailing prices and keep out foreign competition. The cry was raised that lhe home consumption was limited and what would be clone with thesusplus. This is easily answered. At present the producers have to depend on tho British and other maikets. and with the home one secured the sus- plus can be disposed of where it is now. The present government is opposed to high tariff on principle, but has shown itself willing to help a native industry where an injustice has been shown. The bounty has not diminished the demand for adequate tariff protection, it has merely delayed the moveinent when it was shown that justice was set aside for principle. The government'lias taken its own time to consider the matter, the season is already far advanced and no attempt made to resume mining as it should be. From present appearances the output of the Slocan,which was low . enough last year, will-be lower the present year than "'ever before in its history. Metal Quotations. Silver, 52;?Jc per oz.

The life of ,the professional .hunter and trapper, while naturally attended by a certain amount, of danger and hardship, is not utterly devoid of amusement. H is, perhaps, true that such men are more easily amused than the jaded, brain-worker and mechanic in our modern centres of civilization, and wliat affords . enter tai union t- to one might not appeal to tlie other. For instance,, jV1i\ Alexander TrembUy, the wcll-!> nowii hunter and trapper of tho I'arry Sound district, would sooner spend twenty-four hours in the woods than the same length of time in a theatre, though the latter might offer a bill to: 'which even the heart of a callous .first-nighter would .respond witli something; akin to enthusiasm. Tremblay, on a recent visit to Toronto, went to see a performance which had been received with favor by the critics and the public. It wearied him: thu crowds bothered him;'-the ���������artificial light and the close atmosphere were not to h.'s liking. The only incident in the wltole show that gave him any pleasure was a clever act by a number of...trained ��������� dogs, and that only .because he was confident that some of the canines would have" made'good hunting dogs had they been trained from their puppyhood to "tho groat game." "Pcepul, pcepul," he said in his quaint broken Kngiish, when speaking of his visit, ".���������nothing .'but'., pcepul, an' stone an' brick, an' coal smoke.

It he was wandering through the northern wilds of Quebec with the Indians who had 'adopted him, or whom he had adooted, "just w'at you lik'." Ho was at this time about' thirteen years of age, and the proud possessor of a musket, the first firearm with which he hud been entrusted.. Behold, then, not. much taller than his weapon, and eager for adventure; sotting off on his first lonely hunt. With every nerve strained he walked along, scanning the ground and brushwood for a trail. At last he found it���������that of a fair-sized bear. With heart beating high he -followed, it, until at hist he found the nninml, a bear of thu'male persuasion, vigorously tearing at a' rotten log. Child.as he was, the inherited instinct of the hunter cmiie to his aid and checked a sudden desire to give vent to a vigorous whoop. Carefully he aimed and tired, and the shot found its home in bruin's shoulder. Mad dened with pain, the animal threshed wildly with its forepaws for a few moments and then started to run. Tremblay reloaded and followed. The blood-spattered trail was easily read for a considerable distance, mid thin hard ancl broken ground was reached; the signs grew fainter, and at last were . ��������� altogether lost. For two or three hours the lad searched, keen disappointment and hope alternately in his heart, until at last his persoverance was rewarded and he found the bear lying close to a fallen tree. There flashed through his mind stories of the cunning' bf wo'-'-nded animals, by the comments several who had some of the in- 11 is first bear, fooled him, ho twinkle of his occurred whim and he approached cautiously, halting to fire another shot at the prostrate body. Not yet satisfied 'he fied again. - Both shots, found a mark near the bear's shoulder, and the animal made no sign. Trcm- blay's imagination, however, was in full working order, and he was confident that bruin had moved a paw and blinked an eye. Tie waited for stronger signs of vitality, and then, in order to make assurance doubly sure, threw sonic stones at the animal's head. Still the bear lay low, and at last young Tremblay walked boldly forward and laid a hand on bruin's side. "TTeem's near cold quito," he says when tellin'g the story, "an' heem's die of the first shot. Wat's dat for hee's (1) been fool?" Tired as ho was he covered the animal with the heaviest stones he could lift, and returned triumphant, but with aching limbs*, to ��������� the tent of his Indian friend, ' Bokko, In the morning the whole family moved to the spot where the carcase lay, and did not leave it until the last edible morsel of bear y had been disposed of. .

A HARD PROPOSITION SCIENTIFIC EXPLANATION OF THE FOURTH DIMENSION, . To the Lay Mlud It. Would Appear a������ l-Tho-neli This' Mei'uinre'of Space Were (he "Ability, ia Disappear Throagh Stono Walla. Suppose a world consisting, of. a boundless flat plane to.be inhabited by^ reasoning' beings who can move about at pleasure on theplane, but are not able to turn their heads up or down or even to see or thluk of such . terms as above them and below- them, and things around them can be pushed or pulled about in any-direction, but cannot be lifted from the plane. People and-things can pass around each other, but cannot step over anything.' These dwellers in "flatland" could con-', struct a plane geometry which would be exactly like ours in being based on, the axioms of Euclid. Two parallel straight'lines"would never meet, though continued indefinitely.' . i. ' But suppose that the surface on which these beings live. Instead of be- in-,' an infinitely extended plane, is really the surface of an immense globe like the earth on which, we live. It' needs no knowledge of geometry, but only an examination of any globular object���������an apple, for example���������to show that if we draw a line as straight as possible on a sphere and parallel to it draw a small piece of a second line, Mid continue this In as straight a line as we can, the two lines will meet when we proceed in either direction one-quarter of the way around the sphere. For our "flatland" people these lines would both be perfectly straight l.t cause the only curvature would be in the direction' downward, which they could never either perceive ordiscover. To explain bypergeometry proper we must first set forth what a fourth dimension of space means and,show how natural the way by which it may be approached. We continue our nnalo*. ���������uy from "flatland." In this supposed land let us make a cross���������two straight lines intersecting at right angles. The inhabitants of this land .understand the cross perfectly and conceive of it just as we do. Hut let us ask them to draw a third line intersecting the same point aud perpendicular to both the other lines. They would at once pronounce this absurd and impossible. It is equally absurd and Impossible to us if we require the third line to be <.'ra\vn on the paper. But we would reply. "If you allow us to leave the paper. or fiat surface, then we can solve the problem by simply drawing the third line through the paper perpendicular to its surface." Now. to pursue the analogy, suppose that after we have drawn three mutually perpendicular. linos some being from another sphere proposes to us the drawing of a fourth line through the same-.point perpendicular to allthree of the lines already there. We should answer him in the same way that the inhabitants of "flatland" answered ua: "The problem is impossible. You cannot draw any such line in space as we understand it." if our visitor conceived of the fourth dimension, he would reply to us as we replied to the "flat- land" people: "The problem is absurd and impossible if you confine your line to space as you understand it But for me there Is a fourth dimension In space. Draw your line through that dimension, and the problem will be solved. This is perfectly simple to me; it is impossible to you solely because your conceptions do not admit of more than three dimensions." Supposing the inhabitants of "flat- hind" to be intellectual beings as we are. it would be. interesting to them to be told what dwellers,q'f space in three dimensions could <loi_ Letus pursue.the ^analogy by-showing what'dwellers* in four dimensions might do. Place a dweller-of. "flatland" Inside a circle drawn on .his plane and ask him to prep outside of.,:it without -breaking through It. He would go all around and,;rinding every inch of it closed, he would say it was impossible from the very nature of the conditions. "But." we would reply, "that is because or your limited "conceptions. Wo can step "over It" VStcp over it!" he Would exclaim. "I do not know what that means. I can pass around anything if-there is a way open, but I cannot imagine what you mean by stepping over it" But we should simply step over the line and reappear on the other side. So if we confine a being able to move in a. fourth dimension in the walls of a dungeon of which the sides, the floor and the celling were all impenetrable he would step outside of it without touching any. part of the building just as.easily as we could step over a circle-drawn on the plane, without touching It He would simply disappear from our view like a spirit and perhaps "reappear, the next moment outside the prison. To do this he would have to make a little excursion In the fourth dimensiou.���������Professor Simon Newcomb in Harper's Magazine. your CIofKes $re Old.. A.

Irving, manager of the Kaslo & Slocan railway is in Ottawa assisting J. L. Ruttallack in securing aid for tho lead industry. Ore bins are being built at the mouth of No. 4 tunnel of the Ottawa property to receive the ore they expect to strike in this level shortly. Major Vanmoei'kirk is busy'sacking ore from his recent rich strike on tlie Empress near Bear Lake, and will make a shipment shortly. Henry M. Stevenson, of Ainsworth, has been appointed attorney of the Highland Mill & Mining company, vice Maxwell Sterenson, Jr, Henry Stege, proprietor of the Newmarket at New Denver, has taken out naturalization papers as a British subject. E. M. Sandilanda, S. M., performed the ceremony. An adjourned regular meeting of the city council was held Mondav evening at which very little, business was transacted. The Temporary By-law No. 30 received its final adoption. A busy spot just now is McGuigan Basin. Between the Rambler, Wash- tion, Rod Fox, Antoine and other small properties over 100 men are employed. A good deal of development work ia going and small shipments made from timo to time with the exception of the Rambler, which is steadily increasing its output. The Star wagon road is nearly repaired and will in all probability be in a lit condition next week to again permit trafic. The Star peoplo have finished that portion of the road from their mill to the K. & S. right of- way and the city and the K. & S. railway company are attending co the remaining portion. Another amalgamation has taken place with tho Ledge. This time it is the Ozonagram, Lowery's latest paper, which was a failure from the start. The Ledge office is a veritable dumping spot for defunct journals, and has three combined in one. The Claim has been transferred to Nelson where plenty of water is handy to wash out tho slopes. Two well known Slocan boys, Brett brothers, are among those who have recently made some money in a mining transfer in the Lillooet district. They have sold their property, at Anderson to a Boston syndicate, on which a second payment of $100,000 ha.i just been made. They will remain in charge of the property for the company. The Black DiarnondTunnelcompany, Ltd., has been registered as an extra- Provincial company to operate in the Ainsworth district. The head'office of tlie company ia at Dover, Delaware, U. S.
